It is generally used for yakuman hands only, but certain rules also invoke pao for [[rinshan kaihou]]. Only certain types of yakuman are affected by pao; this will depend on the ruleset. | ||

When the last group of a yakuman is called for an open [[kan]], the discarder is still liable for pao. This may not make sense as first, since the yakuman already existed without needing the kan. | When the last group of a yakuman is called for an open [[kan]], the discarder is still liable for pao.

To explain how liability works | To explain how liability works in terms of "the player is responsible for ensuring a yakuman", it is better to switch to the opponent's point of view. When a yakuman-holder has called for two groups of dragons, daisangen is not guaranteed ''in the opponent's eyes''. Once an opponent discards the third dragon, and it is called for a kan, daisangen becomes guaranteed ''in the opponent's eyes''. So, when discarding a tile used for a kan, pao is still invoked: from the opponent's point of view, daisangen goes from not guaranteed -> guaranteed. | ||
